How It Works

Buy a Seat, Not the Whole Boat

A shared cruise means you buy seats, not the whole boat. You will be aboard with other guests, which keeps the price down and the atmosphere friendly. It is the easiest way to get on the water with us. Every shared cruise runs on the River Skipper II, our 45-foot Coast Guard inspected tiki boat. Padded seating, tables, a restroom with running water, and plenty of shade. Bring your own food and drinks, we handle the ice. Reservations are strongly suggested, especially for sunset. Walk-ons are welcome when seats remain, but the popular cruises sell out.
